I agree that Adeoti needs to be on the field for a majority of snaps. That catch he made wasn't easy. Just a tad underthrown which allowed the defender to catch up, he had a chance to make a play on that ball, but Izzy held his concentration and made the catch. That play impressed me and in a high presssure situation as well. He's been thrown at so little that I didn't really really know what to think about him until now.

Seems to me Ketteringham doesn't handle it well when under pressure in the pocket...

Exclusively a 4 or 3 man rush so far in the second half. Dare has all day. Holm having a solid game. He is easily the best DB on our team.

23-17 SHSU 3:49 3Q

20-17 SHSU 9:50 3Q

Is there any way this half could have started worse?

No way was that a TD. Southland is bush league with their whopping 2 camera angles.........

Channel 790 on DirecTV a cording to the guide. Depends on your package I suppose.......

That's not true! Not referencing jdub specifically of course at all, but if NDSU went FBS, 90% of UNDs football fan base would be frothing at the mouth that the same move would need to happen the next day for us. If NDSU did away with scholarships and joined the Pioneer league, it would be the same scenario. Where they go, we will follow. The fanbase won't accept a schedule that doesn't have The Bison on it. That's why we are moving to the SumValley, no other reason. It is so perplexing to me that we voluntarily left a conference that FBS schools are apparently willing to drop down a level to join, while at the same time our new conference is wondering what DII schools could possibly be convinced to join.................

Champions in one of the best FCS conferences in Year #3..........…

Honestly, the defense is the primary driver of success for every team that contends for a championship, regardless of the level of play. Aside from the injury plagued 2017 season, I've seen mostly quality play on the defensive side of the ball during Bubbas regime, and that includes the limited sample size of the current season. I never coached high school football, but I'm not sure what I've seen from the offense two games into this season constitutes a "liabality" yet. We are averaging over 200 yds a game on the ground so far, and one of the opponents we did it against is in the conversation to make the FBS playoff. I really doubt my favorite squad has as bad of a showing offensively against any opponent the rest of the season as they did this past weekend against a team that may very will be playing on New Years Days ............

I agree the offense is still an unknown commodity at this point. But again I say that we are on track to have a season more similar to 2016 than 2017. This team showed the ability to score some points from time to time in '16. It will take all cogs of the machine working together of course. I'm really encouraged by 7 sacks against MVSU and forcing two turnovers against a Top 10 FBS program. We run the type of offense that benefits from a defense that puts the O in good positions. After two games I've seen enough to feel that we have a defense that is capable of doing that..........

I am looking at the Sam Houston game as an opportunity for the program as a whole to prove that the 2016 season was no fluke. I've always been in the camp that Bubba has had had this program on the right track overall. He made this team better each season since he got there until the injury filled season of 2017. I felt that despite the team's improvement from 2014-16, the depth just still wasn't there to overcome what happened last season. Hopefully I'm proven right this Saturday. Sam Houston is a quality team, and honestly a poor matchup for UND. But they are also a typical "soft" and "finesse" team that are so common in today's day and age of spread offenses. This is the type of team we should be able to beat any time of year, but it needs to happen on the field. North Dakota 37 SHSU 31

I could be wrong, bit I believe it is bidding process for the first round. After that, the NCAA helps out with costs.....

Me-Thinks Geno's college career is likely over. Hope he is happy with his decision. No big loss IMO.........

When was the last time you played Tecmo Super Bowl? Flea-Flicker is the obvious way to go!

Flea-flicker.....

Layman's look at last night's game: Ketteringham looked solid. Harris had a tough night. Not sure if it is confidence or rust, but hopefully gets better Regardless of the final rushing stats, I felt the offensive line was underwhelming, at least in the first half. I liked the aggressive nature of the front 7. The secondary might be bad for a while. I think the best help they can have is by having the DL and LBs getting after the QB as much as possible. Live by the sword, die by the sword type of thing. Special teams were atrocious in all phases.

I am shocked that Cam Hunt isn't on the two deep. His play at the end of last season when he got healthy was very impressive ........

I'd like to the see the National Championship trophy on display at the Alerus as well.......

Home opener will draw over 10,000................

I agree that Zimmerman looked solid in relief duty last season. But I was happy to see Ketteringham named the started. I feel he is a proven commodity at this level of play, and I remember being impressed by his play while following his season in the Big Sky a couple years ago when he was at Sac St......

I don't know if Weber St. will go FBS or not, but IMO this news just illustrates how ludicrous it was for North Dakota to voluntarily leave the Big Sky Conference. The Big Sky seems to have universities willing to invest in their programs. On the other hand, the SumValley seems to have schools wondering how they are going to keep the lights on in their gyms and stadiums............ People think of the Big Sky as a football league because of the Montana schools, but for me, just as big a draw to that league for me was Weber St. Their basketball pedigree far exceeds anything that the Summit can offer and its not even close.

I like SiouxVolley's thought process. He sees the big picture. Whether he is right or wrong, time will tell I suppose. He wants UND to go nationwide in all sports, like we are in hockey. It seems like 90% of folks here would be happy with tippy toeing into Fargo. The Big Sky offered us a huge opportunity to set ourselves apart, but for some reason few seemed to embrace it, including the fanbase and administration. IMO, slamming the door on the Big Sky will go down as an even bigger mistake to the athletic department as it was to wait 5 years to join DI after UNC, SDSU, an NDSU did. Honestly, the nickname fiasco has been handled far better than conference affiliation issues. And that's not saying much...........

Just watched, WDAZ's coverage of media day. They touched on the QB competition. Did I hear him say that Zimmerman is a Captain? If so, that may say a lot................... WDAZ
